Giving a gift is a super easy way to show you care about someone. This is why it's one of the 5 love languages. It shows that you're thinking about them, and that you know something about who they are and what they enjoy. It doesn't come naturally to everyone, though. Some of us are better gift givers than others. For example, one of my friends gives the most thoughtful gifts every year that it could make you cry (and usually does). While another friend of mine manages to consistently pick out things I wouldn't wear, or items I wouldn't keep in my house.
However, as they say, it's the thought that counts. All that matters is that they put a little effort into something-- it doesn't matter the result. That's why this story struck such a nerve, when a boyfriend couldn't even manage to try giving something to his beloved. Read on for the story.
